Didn’t include measured inner plates. There is a picture of the original inner plate in another post. Taking all these rests a part, most had incomplete contact with the bag plate. Even the bodies were not flat. Sure
some of the people that bought early rest remember the bur on top that restricted vertical movement. Farley had used a V on the lower plate that went into the bag plate. There was some trial and errors made.iif you look ar the on mine it ground in such a manner that it has micro pockets. It done that way to hold the lubricant. It like hand flaking on the ways of a mill, surface grinder and other types of high precision machining equipment. If you take to polished surfaces and put lubricant between them it just pushes off under pressure. It took a lot to figure out how to get that pattern. You are only stepping over .015” after each pass. All your Mori Seiki, Makino, Deckel, even Bridgeport mill are all hand scraped.
If you want to see measurements of my internal plates I will need to post on YouTube
